A rainy day

We stayed last night in the home of a man who loves the Camino. However, he apparently does not love heating. It was the first night we were totally without heat, so we bundled up in our wool tights, socks, and shirts, crawled into our down sleeping bags and covered that up with a blanket our host provided. Once we were warmed up, we both slept pretty well. The water was also only warm, so I took a quick shower, and Phil skipped it altogether.

This morning it was raining and cold. We found 2 coffee machines along the walk and finally around noon found an open bar for snacks and real coffee.

We are staying tonight in an old mill that has been turned into an upscale albergue. Phil and I are sharing a room with a Spanish man and a younger Korean guy. There are several Australians here and others from Mexico, etc.

We served in this town in 2019, so we knew where the stores were located. We bought a few groceries, and I made lemon chicken with some noodles. After breakfast tomorrow, we'll take a but to the next big town. It is supposed to rain the next 3 days and we have plenty of time to get to the albergue. No since being miserable when we can stay warm and dry.Read more
